RE: Needed Fall Board Meeting Reports

[RON AND SUSAN COSNER <keighley15@msn.com>]

I like Robert's idea of using the Encyclopedia. I think this would be a great
reference and allow more people to view the actual flower. We should make sure
we do it right and allow that time needed. Thank you

Ron and
Sue Cosner

not remember the results every being reported before January. I know they
usually go up on to the website but that does not always happen quickly. I
have an area on the Iris Encyclopedia set up for reporting popularity poll
results. One of its advantages is I could, and would like to, create a photo
gallery of the winners. Since the pictures can also be linked to each
cultivars page it can be very nice for new visotors to the website. If you
would be willing to send me your results when you have them I would be
delighted to create this gallery. Since there is a great deal of work involved
in this I would not promise to have this done in a week or two but could
possible get it there within a month. I am sure newer members would enjoy
seeing such a gallery of the top 100 favorite Irises.
